Check out this keymap, It will give you some clues on how to exploit the bugged z+x, j+k etc.

Also, your delete key will not work in osso-xterm.

Also, what is 'menu' symbol?

You're right. delete key will not work in terminal, and i can not found any solution for this problem.
I'm solved j+k bug with {} characters.
But i did not find any bug for z+x and a+s keys, i don't have other character to allocate to those.

ha ha!
I exploit Fn+Shift+J/K keys.
When i press and hold Fn with Shift key and press j/k typed {}.
But i should press Fn and drop it, press and hold Shift and press j! ok typed {.

Re: Shift + J and Shift + K, both giving )&: Interesting!

Has any cause been firmly decided on? Seems like a bit of a design cock up, if it really is as described in the above-linked wiki.

Looks like it could be very handy, as a means to avoid pressing Fn + Ctrl + screen-tap, to get a lot of characters.

How can Fn or Shift be cancelled? If you press Fn, Shift or both together, then decide you don't want to change kbd level, how does your kbd work? At the moment, to cancel either Shift or Fn, I just press one of the cursor, bksp or rtn keys, depending on what the cursor's doing.

Do these advanced layouts work with MicroB? Its Ctrl + Left or Right for tabbing can be both useful and highly irritating! Or, does MicroB still override?

@vi_ Thanks for heads up to your wiki page (and its link to main remapping page)

What do you mean? MicroB does not have tabs!

What does the 'menu' that you have assigned to the return key actually do?

HtheB | # 8 | 2012-10-23, 15:11 | Report

holding down the CTRL button and "RIGHT ARROW" is assigned as the "TAB" button on MicroB, (Ctrl+left arrow is assigned for "Shift+tab")

Yeah, sorry - I wasn't very clear. My question is: would having a different kbd layout override this functionality, seeing as Tab is actually implemented? It's a good idea but sometimes annoying, especially in <textarea> elements, when it's not possible to use it like Ctrl + Left/Right on a PC, to skip to the beginning of words - BusyBox Power even has this sorted!

@WAHID
When using this custom layout, what happens to the symbol list (Fn + Ctrl)?

That's work correctly so.
